Trifecta: Frank Gasparro's Dual Torch Design
This blog entry is not Hawaiian related....
While performing research on my book on the http://www.potus-sgm.com/ I tracked down the dual torch design of Frank Gasparro (I previously shared this research find at another numismatic website and wanted to share it here). In the image:
Left is the obverse of a Class 2 Eisenhower President of the United States (POTUS) special Government medal (sGm) with the dual torch by Frank Gasparro and manufactured by the Bureau of the Mint in 1960.
Middle is the reverse of the President Kennedy inauguration medal with the dual torch by Frank Gasparro and manufactured by the Bureau of the Mint in 1961.
Right is the reverse of the General MacArthur congressional gold medal with dual torch by Frank Gasparro and manufactured by the Bureau of the Mint in 1962.
Imagine that! Mr. Gasparro used the dual torch design in consecutive years (1960, 1961, and 1962) on three medal types (special Government medal, inauguration medal, and a congressional medal).
